University Of Sydney Business School
The University of Sydney Business School is the business faculty and a constituent body of the University of Sydney. It was established in January 2011 and formed from the School of Business within the previous Faculty of Economics and Business. The former combined faculty itself descended from the original Faculty of Economics founded in 1920, which was the first faculty of its kind in Australia.
The Business School has an impressive academic reputation and is currently placed the 9th in the world for Accounting and Finance by the QS World University Rankings by Subjects 2013. It was the first business school in Australia to receive accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) from the European Foundation for Management Development. It is also the only Australian business school to become an Associate member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS). The Business School's CEMS Masters in International Management (CEMS MIM) is currently ranked as the No. 3 masters in management program in the world by The Financial Times 2012 Business School Rankings.
In 2012, the Business School had a total student enrolment of 6,436, consisting of 3,652 undergraduate and 2,640 postgraduate students. In terms of total enrolment numbers it is the University's second-largest faculty. By large margins, the Business School had the greatest number and proportion of international students of any of the University of Sydney's 16 faculties. In 2012, 45% of the school's enrolment consisted of international students, more than double the University-wide rate of 22%.

“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“If ever there was an aviary overstocked with jays it is that Yaptown-on-the-Hudson, called New York.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
“Mily: You must remember me!?
Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
